Focus on Life Week 4: Word(s)

I decided to takeSally's Optional Prompt this week...This is My Word(s) for 2014... I have this image as my screensaver, so I see it every morning when I turn on my laptop :-)

At the moment, I understand it to mean I write/postspeak as truthfully, and mindfully, as I can... to be honest and open... to 'make known' as much as I feel prompted/able to share...I expect other aspects of My Word to make themselves known as the year progresses, as has happened in previous years :-)And can I Make Known (sorry!) to you my exciting plan for 13 Giveaways??

Just click the button in the right sidebar to go to the Giveaway post, or click here. You can leave a comment there or email me using the Contact Form, and I'll put your name in the virtual hat. This is the first item I'm giving away - there's more info about it here

Love your words. To 'make known' is to own something of your choosing and I've loved reading your written words each day (although I rarely comment - sorry about that) that you are 'making known' and owning - your writing is always a nice way to start my mornings! :-)

I love your blog. So inspirational. I too love to write in addition to my photography passion. So many things to inspire me with not enough time to do them all..that is my frustration. I look forward to following you!!

This wee artwork has sat on my desk since 2009. It reminds me to experience each day deeply. As the text says at the very bottom, 'What a realisation of something more'. Click the image to visit its creator's corner of Blogland.

About Me

I suffered a serious stroke over 10 years ago (aged 43 at the time) and it's been a slow, often frustrating, recovery...
I lost my speech and was totally paralyzed on my right side, but with patience and regular physiotherapy, I can now speak, walk short distances, operate the computer, but my right side is still paralyzed. I get botox injections 3 times a year in my right bicep and forearm, which relaxes the high-tone muscles and makes it easier to stand and walk. Last year I started weekly sessions of hydrotherapy, where I build up the wasted muscles by exercising while supported by the warm water. It's bliss at the time, but I ache like heck next day - but it's so worth it :)
